Sally Worboyes

With all the grit and glitz of the 1970s East End, the new Sally Worboyes is simply compellingAnna has everything to make her happy - a husband, a lovely little house in Bethnal Green, two much-longed-for twin baby boys.

Does being a wife and mother really mean that her dancing days are over? Maybe not. Old family friend Rob, a policeman who walks a fine line between right and wrong, is keen to show Anna a good time, even if her husband isn't...
